Well i got hold of a Pioneer 5500 refurbed unit for $250 including shipping to Australia. I couldn't see enough difference to the 5600 for the extra $100 or so. At least nothing that i'll notice.

Thanks for the info negolien. Do you know what the changes were between the 5500 and the 5600? From what i can see in the specs, just the ipod compatibility has changed. Are the screen setups the same? Does the 5500 have any lag when you push buttons on the touchscreen like some double dins do?

I did a search but couldn't find anything. Assuming that's cause they are pretty new. Does anyone have one of the double din pioneer 5600bhs units? I want to run a rear view camera and have Bluetooth and these seem a good price. Does anyone have any opinions of them?

Does anyone have experience with the Audiocontrol LCQ-1? http://www.audiocontrol.com/t34/17612/712451/OEM-Integration/LCQ--1----Six-Channel-Line-Output-Converter-with-Equalization-and-AccuBASS.html It seems a good price at just over $200. Do you think this will do what i need or is there...

Ok, i'll start looking into processors. Since i will be using front and rear speakers and a sub and the factory head unit only has front and rear speaker outputs, how do i connect to the processor for the sub? Also, is it better to get a processor that has a equalizer built into it or should i...

Oh, and they dont make an after market facsia kit for my car. The genuine one costs over $100 for a bit of plastic and 2 brackets

It's a Mitsubishi Triton 4WD ute (in Australia). It has steering wheel controls and voice activated controls. It's not that i am too fussed by these, but the only other head unit i have is a kenwood single din so by the time i buy a single din pocket, the facia to go around the deck as the...

I just bought a new car and i want to keep the factory head unit/phone system in it. I have two alpine amps, a pair of front and rear splits and a JL TW13 Sub i want to put in the car. Can anyone recommend a decent processor that allows me to connect my amps to the factory head unit. I want...

Yeah I'm going to stick with the normal setup. The more I read about running active, the harder it looks to setup. I think I'll stick with what I have and get a decent deck to improve sound quality.

Thanks for the info, Could you possibly post a link up of the type of processor i need. I'm don't want to change the amp. Do you still use the crossovers when you have a processor and run active or does the processor just go straight to the speakers?

OK, i've had another look and the crossover has 2 inputs so i can "bi-amp" (if this is what its called) the front splits. How do i go about running the wiring? Do i just run a single set of RCA's from the head unit front pre out and then split into the 4 channels on the amp? Then run the wiring...

Hi, I have just bought a new car that i need to move my stereo into. My last car had my Alpine Type X pro front splits and type X reference rear splits running off an Alpine PDX-F4 4 channel amp. I have read in the past that some people run 4 channels to one set of fronts? Do you think it...

Yeah no USB in though. And if i add the USB adapter it will do the banking thing my Alpine now does which is the reason its out of the car after only 3 weeks. I will keep an eye out for a 7200 MK II or a 5030. Hopefully one pops up somewhere. Untill then the Kenwood x994 should be here this...

I dont know how it is in America. But here, We cant just buy from a retail shop and then sell the gear. Not legally. You'd better get a financial advisor or something to run you through all the legalities and then get onto some dealers from there. Though if your asking where to buy stuff from...

JL Audio - Car Audio Systems This will show you what the adjustments are actually doing. As far as tuning. If you search for "setup eq" i think, you should find something. I was reading up last week and there is a thread on here that has a link to about 3 websites explaining how to tune your eq...
